SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT
 
ROCKHAMPTON JOCKEY CLUB 11 FEBRUARY 2022
RACE 2: USG BORAN Benchmark 65 Handicap
 
Stewards received submissions from trainer J Manzelmann in relation to the stand down of CALPURNIA from TAB meeting’s following this event. Due to Mr Manzelmann not being notified on the day and considering the submissions from Mr Manzelmann that filly had had difficulty breathing at its last start and he would be adding a cross over nose band to the filly’ gear, Stewards revoked the stand down which had been imposed. Nonetheless Mr Manzelmann was advised the warning which had been placed on CALPURNIA from its previous start was still in place.
